Natural beta-carotene is an organic chemical compound from the carotenoid class, which are naturally occurring pigments that impart intense red-orange colors to many fruits and vegetables. It is a form of provitamin A, meaning it can be converted into vitamin A in the body as needed.
Beta-carotene, found in many plant-based foods, is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It also has potential health benefits, such as supporting the immune system, protecting against certain eye diseases, and protecting the skin from harmful external factors.
The richest sources of natural beta-carotene are various vegetables and fruits with intense red, orange, and yellow colors, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, bell peppers, spinach, mango, apricots, peaches, and melon. Consuming these foods can help increase levels of beta-carotene and other valuable nutrients in the diet, which can provide health benefits.
Lyc-O-Beta™ is a natural beta-carotene extracted from Blakeslea Trispora through fermentation. This form of beta-carotene is microencapsulated, which provides high bioavailability and efficient absorption in the body. This means the body can more easily convert beta-carotene into vitamin A when needed.
Vitamin A is crucial for the function of the immune system. According to research, vitamin A helps maintain the integrity and function of mucous membranes in the respiratory, digestive, and urinary systems, which are key barriers against infections. Additionally, vitamin A plays a role in the development and differentiation of white blood cells, which are essential for the body's defense against pathogens.
Vitamin A contributes to normal iron metabolism by facilitating the mobilization of iron from storage sites in the body. This is particularly important for preventing iron deficiency anemia, a common form of anemia that can lead to fatigue and reduced immune function.
Vitamin A is important for maintaining healthy mucous membranes. These membranes act as a protective barrier against infections and injuries. By supporting the health of mucous membranes, vitamin A can help reduce the risk of infections and inflammatory conditions.
Vitamin A is known for its benefits for the skin. It helps maintain skin health by supporting cell turnover and repair processes. This can help improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging, and protect against damage from UV radiation and other environmental factors.
Vitamin A is crucial for vision, especially night vision. Retinal, a form of vitamin A, is a component of rhodopsin, a pigment in the retina that is necessary for seeing in low light. A deficiency in vitamin A can lead to night blindness and other vision problems.
Vitamin C, which is also present in this product, plays an important role in the function of the nervous system. It helps protect nerve cells from oxidative stress and supports the production of neurotransmitters, which are important for communication between nerve cells.
Vitamin C is necessary for normal collagen synthesis, which is important for the function of blood vessels. Collagen is a structural protein that provides strength and elasticity to the walls of blood vessels. By supporting collagen production, vitamin C can help maintain the health of blood vessels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
